Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (sore back) will play on Monday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

Gasol sat out Saturday's contest with the back issue and remains "far from 100 percent," per Peter Edmiston of Sports 56 WHBQ/87.7 FM. He's likely going to be limited, which could translate to more work for JaMychal Green.

numberFire's models expect Gasol to score 36.6 FanDuel points, at a cost of $7,400, on Monday.

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (left ankle sprain) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What It Means:

Ayton was previously considered questionable, but it appears he will miss a second straight contest. Richaun Holmes (foot) may not be available either, so Dragan Bender could be in line for another start against Karl-Anthony Towns and company.
